Flickr user Profound Grafx has a thing for docks and launchers. This desktop is a testament to that, but it also keeps games, productivity tools, websites, media, and more neatly separated and organized. Here's how it's all set up.

There's clearly a lot going on here, so it makes sense if you'd prefer to pick and choose different elements than set up the entire package, but we do think the whole package looks sharp too. Here's what you'll need:

Windowblinds to change the look, color, and texture of the start menu, window borders, and taskbar

Profound Grafx offers a little more information about how it all fits together over at Flickr:

The docks tuck away unless moused-over (shown here).
I also use WindowFX to hide icons unless the desktop is active.
I customized the Rainmeter Shortcuts buy duplicating a shortcut folder, changing the link direction, and photoshopping the appearance of the tab. That way I have links to all my favorite sites right on my desktop.

It's a lot, but it looks great, is truly personal, and offers quick access to just about anything you need. If you want to know more about the setup, or have questions about how to make this work on your computer, head over to the Flickr page linked below and ask your questions—let Profound Grafx know we sent you!
